4-8 IUs – dosage of HGH, which is sufficient to help you achieve significant fat loss effect and build some lean muscle mass.

8-15 IUs – is great to get nice muscle gains and obtain a ripped and vascular body.

These numbers are approximate and, of course, you results will depend on your diet and training.

Experience and HGH dosage

Results you get depend on not only your experience with growth hormone but also your results in bodybuilding at all. If you run HGH for the first time and your body is relatively “natural” and weak, you need a lower dosage, about 4-6 IUs. And if you are an experienced guy (I am sure you know your HGH dosage), you need more, up to 10 IUs. Only professional athletes need a higher amount.

Cycle duration

The shorter your cycle is, the more HGH you need. The optimal duration of HGH cycle is 3-4 months, but you can cut it and run only for 1-2 months, for example on cutting. But in this case, you will need more growth hormone.

Short cycles (1-2 months) will improve the state of your cartilage, heal joint traumas and improve the state of skin. Due to the improvements in the cartilage, you will experience a nice rise in strength.

Also, short cycles are perfect for intensive cutting because HGH prevents muscle loss during dietary restriction (which is the main problem of cutting) and possess strong fat burning potency.

Experiments with women showed that females who were taking HGH had 30% higher fat-burning rate than women who had only diet restriction [1].

Long cycles with a relatively low dosage are better for bodybuilding than short cycles. Longer duration is great because you can burn fat without a diet and, at the same time, get efficient muscle gains.

Another advantage is hyperplasia, due to which growth hormone can induce division of skeletal muscle cells, thus significantly increasing your bodybuilding potential. [picture]

Also, long cycles help you achieve the more significant improvements in skin, nails, and hair, as well as heal old traumas.

When choosing you cycle duration and HGH dosage, remember that a shorter cycle with the high dosage shows stronger side effects than a long one. However, long using of HGH increases risks of antibodies occurring. Antibodies significantly decrease the efficacy of growth hormone.

HGH dosage and protocol (ED, EOD, 3TW)

There are three main protocols of growth hormone usage: every day (ED), every other day (EOD) and 3 times a week (3TW). Another option to consider is whether to divide daily dosage into several injections or take the whole injection once.

ED protocol is the most common and is considered to be the best for bodybuilding because it allows to keep a smooth level of GH and IGF-1, which is great for fat loss and muscle growth.

However, EOD protocol empirically showed to give better muscle gains. The reasons for this phenomenon are unclear. However, EOD is significantly worse for cutting that ED because the level of free fatty acids isn’t smooth and permanent.

EOD protocol is good for people who don’t have enough money to take growth hormone every day. But if you don’t have financial problems, run ED protocol.

EOD protocol is also great if you want to perform a long cycle, for six months or so, and want to avoid the risk of diabetes.

3TW protocol is used in medicine to treat GH-deficient children. It helps decrease antibody production when taking HGH for several years consequently. But 3TW doesn’t fit bodybuilding

Do I need to divide my daily HGH dosage?

Yes, you need to do it for the following three reasons:

Two injections during a day give you a smooth level of GH and IGF-1, so the effects of fat burning and muscle growth become stronger.

Sometimes the liver can’t quickly converse a large amount of HGH to IGF-1. Our body is adjusted to 5-7 HGH peaks of secretion during the day, not to one big peak. The liver might fail to converse all growth hormone to somatomedins, and the rest will be destroyed

EFFECTS OF HGH are closely connected with body weight, especially muscle mass. Amount of HGH is measured by its volume in the serum, so the more blood, the lower number will show the exact amount. Difference in the serum between people with 5 liters of blood (70 kg) and 7 liters (100 kg) is 30% and the difference in the efficacy of GH will be similar

How dosage of growth hormone changes in combinations with AAS and insulin?

Although HGH is great when you use it alone, it also gives excellent results in combination with steroids and insulin. Also, if you use combinations of different drugs, you can take a smaller amount of each one and get the same result.

The more performance-enhancing drug you take, the less amount of each you need to achieve results. In the combined cycle, the function of muscle building is performed by steroids or insulin, while growth hormone allows you to stay lean and burn fat.

Health state and dosage of growth hormone

You should consider HGH side effects, although they are mild (see another article about HGH side effects to learn more):

Blood sugar. Problems with the pancreas and possible diabetes are the main side effects of HGH. That is why before starting to use HGH, you must pass the blood test to find out the level of your blood sugar or take the glucose tolerance test. Also, don’t take growth hormone if your close relatives have diabetes. If your test shows 4-6 mmol/l, you can take HGH up to 10 IUs without Exogenous Insulin. If your level is higher, perform a deeper medical examination.

High pressure. Growth hormone usually causes water retention and increases blood pressure, so if you have problems with blood pressure, you need to choose only pharmaceutical-grade growth hormone (Jintropin and Ansomone), which causes milder side effects and increases your HGH dosage gradually to avoid water retention.

Cancer. You can read about it in the article aboutside effectsin greater detail. In short, growth hormone can’t provoke cancer incidence, but it can accelerate the development of tumor if it already exists.

So don’t use HGH or steroids if you have cancer or your close relatives experience problems with it.

Financial opportunities and HGH dosage

Last but not least. Growth hormone is an expensive drug, and often the amount of substance you can take is limited with money. That is why you should choose the best cost-to-quality growth hormone.

In our site, you can read articles about HGH BRANDS and fake, generic HGH and learn more about the problems connected with choosing growth hormone brand.

When buying HGH of unknown producers, such as Kigtropin, Blue tops, or Riptropin, you risk with your health and money because underground products are often underdosed or contain peptides instead of HGH.

The best idea is to buy officially manufactured cheap HGH: Jintropin, Hygetropin, and Ansomone.

Now, let’s discuss how to choose the proper way to use HGH dosage if you don’t have much money:

Take HGH for longer periods of time in a low dosage. You can run 5 IUs for six months instead of 10 IU for three months. Thus, you will reduce the amount of money you pay each month. This cycle can even show better efficacy.

Use EOD protocol. You can simply inject HGH every other day, although it is less efficient

Combine HGH with steroids. Combination with steroids shows great results, even if HGH dosage is low, due to the effect
